Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Immortal only desires a steady path to enlightenment!

Chapter 79: Merit-Based Rewards! Using nature and virtue as analogies!

High above the heavens, gazing upon the ever-awakening righteous energy within the human realm, Cangjie's eyes were filled with satisfaction and excitement.

From then on, the human race was finally able to stand tall and walk freely across the primordial land!

Humanity's greatest support will no longer be the saints, but themselves!

Just as Cangjie's heart was filled with surging passion.

The vast ocean of merit suspended between heaven and earth suddenly separated into four parts and fell upon him.

In an instant, boundless fortune surged forth, merit shone with golden light, righteous energy permeated heaven and earth, poems were sung throughout the universe, ink paintings depicted all things, and thousands of birds flew in carrying flowers!

Supported by countless extraordinary phenomena, Cangjie's aura began to rise at a visible speed!

In just a few breaths, he had already reached the eighth realm of Confucianism and Taoism: the realm of sages and great Confucian scholars!

"As heaven maintains vigor through movement, a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement!"

"The earth's nature is receptive; a virtuous person, in accordance with this, carries the world with great virtue!"

"Following the wind, the superior man, in accordance with this, carries out his mandate and acts accordingly!"

"When thunder roars, a wise man should be filled with fear and self-reflection!"

"Goodness is like water; a wise person plans ahead before undertaking any task!"

"Fire is associated with people; a wise person distinguishes things by their kind and category!"

"Walking and walking, a wise man discerns the people's will and peace of mind!"

"The mountain of Gen (艮) signifies humility; a virtuous person uses this to reduce excess and increase deficiency!"

"Use the principles of the Eight Trigrams to establish the foundation for humankind's actions!"

"Follow the way of Heaven and relentlessly pursue progress!"

"Learn from the earth, and embrace all things in heaven and earth with a compassionate heart!"

A series of loud pronouncements echoed throughout the heavens and the universe.

Cangjie's aura reached the pinnacle that a sage and great Confucian scholar could attain in the eighth realm of Confucianism and Taoism!

"From this day forward, Confucianism and Taoism are officially included in the lineage of humankind!"

"Confucian scholars should be the backbone of the human race!"

"Confucian scholars should be the vanguard of humanity in external conflicts!"

"Confucian scholars should be wise teachers who educate and enlighten the human race!"

"Confucianism should be the foundation for the inheritance of the human race!"

"Those who cultivate righteousness must never do anything that dishonors, betrays, or harms humanity!"

"If anyone dares to commit even one of these offenses, they shall be expelled from the human race, condemned by heaven and earth, and never to be reincarnated!!"

The ability to make one's words lawful is merely a fundamental skill in the true cultivation of Confucianism and Taoism.

Confucianism and Taoism, Eighth Realm, Perfection of Sages and Great Confucian Scholars.

A cultivator equivalent to the Great Luo Golden Immortal at the Perfect Realm.

Confucian and Taoist practitioners do not rely heavily on external things.

As a result, Cangjie did not accept all the merits just now.

More often, it is the infusion of human destiny that leads to the attainment of the perfect state of a sage or great scholar!

The remaining merit, plus Cangjie's own ability to make his words follow the law.

The oath just uttered instantly became part of the order of heaven and earth, deeply imprinted in the souls of Confucian and Taoist practitioners!

Unless one's own Confucian and Taoist cultivation surpasses that of Cangjie.

Or perhaps there are saints who use great merit to erase the imprint of order within the soul.

Otherwise, you shall not dare to do anything that violates your oath.

They will immediately suffer the backlash of the human race's fortune, be expelled from the human race, suffer the punishment of being struck down by heaven and earth, and be condemned to eternal damnation!

It can be said that Cangjie's actions fundamentally eliminated the possibility of Confucian scholars betraying and harming the human race.

After all, his own Confucian and Taoist cultivation surpassed that of Cangjie, and his belief in protecting humanity almost permeated the other's very soul.

To make someone betray humanity is equivalent to instantly transforming a greedy person into a generous and philanthropic philanthropist.

As for the intervention of a saint-level being.

Let's set aside the issue of the depletion of merit.

As long as the imprint of order on the soul is erased.

One's Confucian and Taoist cultivation will vanish in an instant!

And from then on, he was no longer able to practice Confucianism or Taoism.

Even if one cultivates other paths, one's state of mind will always be incomplete!

Let alone reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, even breaking through to the Profound Immortal realm is extremely difficult.

In this situation, there shouldn't be that fool.

They would go through all sorts of hardships to rescue a complete good-for-nothing!

Of course, if there really is a fool willing to take action.

That only means that the waste still has some value.

Once their usefulness is exhausted, they will be discarded as garbage at any time!

After all the Confucian scholars of the human race were branded with a divine soul mark.

Within the vast ocean of merit, two more merits split off, directly enveloping the book containing the human language!

It was upgraded from a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

The transformation towards acquired merit and spiritual treasures begins!

Under the baptism of boundless purple energy, the merits of heaven and earth, the fortune of the human race, and the righteous spirit.

Books that record human writing eventually transform into top-grade acquired merit treasures!

Once the books fell back into Cangjie's hands, the vast ocean of merit immediately split into two parts, enveloping the inkstone, jade brush, and ink block within it.

Since the two successful deeds were divided into three equal parts.

Inkstones, jade brushes, and ink blocks are merely the initial stage of attaining the highest level of acquired merit and spiritual treasures.

It did not reach the level of a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure.

After transforming the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone into spiritual treasures of merit.

The remaining vast ocean of merit was divided in two.

The largest portion, occupying one and a half percent, transforms into countless golden lotuses.

It fluttered down and landed on the bodies of countless humans.

Enhance its essence and understanding, and nourish its spirit, soul, and vital energy!

In a subtle and gradual way, let the human race's fortune become stronger and more prosperous!

The smaller portion fell into the hands of Yu Ding.

Don't think that half a percent is a small amount.

This was merely a reward he bestowed upon the Four Treasures of Literature and Taoism.

It is not a reward for returning the Confucian and Taoist traditions.

The true rewards of fortune and merit will only be fully realized when Confucianism and Taoism are fully established in the future!

"The virtues of a gentleman are compared to the natural phenomena of heaven and earth."

"Fellow Daoist Cangjie truly deserves to be called a Confucian and Daoist cultivator."

"Your understanding of character is truly admirable."

Watching Cangjie slowly descend from the heavens.

Yu Ding's eyes were filled with joy and approval.

"You're joking, sir."

"I was just expressing my feelings."

"If it weren't for the True Man who introduced Confucianism and Taoism to the human race..."

"He generously gifted me the Four Treasures of the Study."

"I could never have reached this point."

As Cangjie responded modestly, Xuanyuan led a group of ministers out of the wooden house.

With the addition of many Confucian scholars, the Xuanyuan tribe is no longer the chaotic place it was when Yu Ding arrived.

For hundreds of years, the territory occupied by the Xuanyuan tribe has not changed much.

It still covers the entire north, as well as the areas near the eastern and western edges.

This is the change in Xuanyuan's understanding after he realized the gap.

The strength of a power is not measured by the size of its territory.

Rather, it's about whether the human tribes are thriving, prosperous, and powerful!

Therefore, he chose to postpone territorial expansion and focus on governing the human race within his territory.

The Confucian scholars who came to the Xuanyuan tribe to study and achieved success.

They were assigned to human tribes within the territory of the Xuanyuan tribe.

Let them teach Confucianism and Taoism, educate and guide the human race!

The human race now ruled by the Xuanyuan tribe.

It already bears some resemblance to the later dynasties.

Solemn and sturdy city walls, clean and tidy streets, orderly houses, civilized and orderly markets, disciplined army, and children eagerly learning...

It can be said that the human tribes under the rule of the Xuanyuan tribe were different from the human tribes outside.

It's the complete difference between civilized society and primitive society!

Yu Ding was very pleased with this change.

After all, they were used to seeing all sorts of abodes of immortals and gods.

The place was muddy, chaotic, and people were urinating and defecating everywhere...

It was a primitive tribal environment that was a complete mess and disorder.

It really made him feel a little uncomfortable and disgusted.
